Not sure about the BL5 question, but when I was using a Playmaker with my BS9000 I had my turntable/phono-preamp connected to the line in of the PM, and the PM connected into the aux input of my BS9000. I've since replaced the PM with an Auralic Aries Mini with a SDD drive holding all my ripped music. No input on the Auralic,so I have to use a switch to change from listening to the turntable to the Auralic.

or be connected to Beolab 5’s 2nd powerlink (beolab5 has 2 powerlinks on each)?

Hi Arkiminsu,

Welcome to Beoworld!  Please connect the PlayMaker to the Aux socket of the Beosound 9000 with this cable to play it through your speakers without needing any changes to the existing setup:-

I do have the same question. I will work on that based on your advice.

Thank you very much.

it was very helpful.

jusr for the update, I did connect  PM to second

it is working ok except the volume control working.

so the best way will be that PM connect to 9000’s

Hi,

If you don’t have control of the volume then the PlayMaker may have been connected to a Powerlink socket instead of the Aux socket.

Kind regards Steve.

Which volume control? You can set the PM to a fixed volume or variable volume, if he's talking about the PM's volume control.

Hi Jeff,

If the PlayMaker is accidentally plugged into a Powerlink socket on the Beosound 9000 instead of the Aux socket, then the sound will come through the speakers, but the Beosound 9000 volume control won't work for the PlayMaker.

This is a common issue, as the sockets are hidden under the 9000 and the plug will fit all three DIN sockets, but the 9000 can only control the PlayMaker volume when the Aux socket is used.

As you mentioned, the PlayMaker volume should work via the app as long as it has been set to Variable output.

Kind regards, Steve.

please advise if you can also connect beoplayer on beosound 5
